Sleeper to Watch: Mike Williams, WR, Syracuse
The Orange's leading pass catcher is squarely on scouts' radars after his impressive showing against Northwestern last week. The imposing playmaker tallied 11 receptions for 209 yards with two scores in a game that signaled his return as big-time playmaker. Williams, who was suspended for the 2008 season due to academic issues, was a sensational All Big East player who amassed 61 receptions for 837 yards with 10 touchdowns as a sophomore in 2007. With few pass catchers possessing Williams' size, athleticism and playmaking ability, it is not surprising that he is quietly shooting up draft boards this fall.

This young man, named Williams is a good player. After last week's game, he's now fourth on Syracuse's all time reception list. He passed Hall of Famer Art Monk on SU's career reception list last week.
